Greg: To quote your earlier post: "you give me too much credit..I fit better in the category of I've learned much more about my boat than I ever expected to" Humble you are, Yoda. Great photos/videos. Nice work. P.S. Glad they found the other brother. The not-knowing would be the worst part........ |

All done. Even ran into someone in a Bu(very new) who wanted to run last night. He kept bumping his throttle with a s79t eating grin on his face, and I matched him. We got to a long turn and I smoked him on the outside. The look on his face was priceless.
Oldcuda was right; junk lifters. Now I get to chat with Lunati today. |

So did you replace them or are you running them at 0 lash? Maybe find a set of Delphi's or Speed Pro still makes good ones

I put a set of Comps in. No fuss, no muss...except for all of the time, money, and frustration that I'll never recover. That and I don't have a tingle running up my leg from Lunati. I'm going to take a couple apart to see what's to see, and then send the lot back to Lunati; but it doesn't sound like they want to make them good.
It's running like the new engine it is now. It gets to 5k in no time. |

Bummer that Lunati isnt excited about standing behind their parts.
Now go break out the GPS, youre killing me over here! Ill make the first guess at 53.6mph. Going to pick up our roller at Fedex today, btw. Should be back on the water in Aug. |

Indeed! I was trying to be polite...but 
I'd say that's an excellent guess. I run a little faster than 1:1My wife and my GPS are building windmills in MI though.
Well post some pics of your progress! If I turn any more wrenches on this, it'll be for a roller and intake. The thing is, I may be shopping for a salty soon. The pumpkin may show up in the for sale section?!!? |

Woah woah woah, lets not talk crazy now! Where would this new salty location be?
Im not sure that there will be much worth taking pictures of, but we'll document our reinstall for sure. |

Mostly in my heart; we'll see. Our 10 year plan has changed in the last 3. The cool part is we have plenty of options.

I got a thumbs up and a few horn bumps while I was cutting the grass. It sounds soooo good! And raising the compression among other things has had a marvelous affect on fuel consumption. |

The BFN must have been in the driveway since they certainly weren't honking at you!!  Now if Amy was cutting the grass, that would be a different story!

OK funny guy. I live on a peninsula and the park/ramp is on the other side. They heard me go by and they've all seen me working on it. The peninsula is small enough(~50 houses) to hear the full run. |
